A Little on Diplo and Steve Aoki

Diplo, who goes by the real name of Thomas Pentz is a Californian songwriter, record producer, DJ, as well as a record executive majorly known for co-creating and assuming a lead role in Major Lazer – a music project featuring electronic dancehall. Some of his most important contacts include fellow DJ and music producer, Skrillex, with whom he formed the electronic music duo called Jack U. In his role as a record executive and music producer, he runs a record company by the name of Mad Decent. Unknown to many people is the fact that Diplo is a philanthropist as exhibited in his massive contribution in Heaps Decent, a not-for-profit company organization he runs as well. Another unpopular fact is that Diplo once worked as a school teacher in Philadelphia before making it big in the music industry. Internationally, Diplo has worked with the British musician MIA who helped him establish his career. In America, he has worked on many mixtape projects with many pop and electronic music artists – also contributing to the massive recognition for the 38-year-old.
